Julius Esunge, assistant professor of mathematics at the University of Mary Washington, has been selected to receive a prestigious 2015-2016 Fulbright U.S. Scholar grant. Esunge will teach and conduct research at the University of Buea in the Republic of Cameroon beginning in the spring of 2016.
The Fulbright Program, sponsored by the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs, is the U.S. government’s flagship international exchange program. The scholarship program gives professors a unique opportunity as ambassadors of American higher education, pursuing research and teaching opportunities around the world.
An expert in stochastic analysis, Esunge blends mathematics and statistics to understand and solve real-world problems. As part of his Fulbright grant, Esunge will return to the place of his undergraduate studies – the University of Buea – to teach two semesters of probability and actuarial mathematics and lead a weekly graduate seminar in stochastic analysis. He also will construct and compare predictive models for healthcare costs.
“The opportunity to return to the University of Buea and actively mentor a new generation of students is priceless,” said Esunge, who joined the UMW mathematics department in 2009. “I have the opportunity to map a path for the current students and motivate them through passionate teaching.”
Esunge received a bachelor’s degree from the University of Buea, a master’s degree from Lehigh University and a master’s degree and doctorate’s degree from Louisiana State University.
“Dr. Esunge is a very popular and effective teacher, and I know he will have a tremendous impact at the University of Buea,” said Jonathan Levin, provost at UMW. “It is a special pleasure to see him bring his talent and expertise to his own alma mater in Cameroon.”

Congratulations for this wonderful achievement. The light of UB is shining.
I still vividly remember this guy’s oratory on the pulpit in the days of BUCU when we were undergrads at UB. It is no doubt that he brings the same passion for teaching God’s word to teaching young scientific minds. Congrats bros
The gift of God is available and applicable to people like Prof Esunge who have a burning desire to win in any undertaking. You are a wonder in your generation. I am proud to have passed through the university of Buea.
congratulations

Congratulations Dr. Esunge,

Dr Esunge,
You have done well. a Fulbright Grant ?!?!? That is huge!! While many of us cringe with shame whenever Cameroon is mentioned due to the atrocities some of us commit worldwide, this is heartwarming. Thank you for alleviating our pain.
Congrats for another achievement, that will bring glory to the God you serve unapologetically.
It is time you went back to Buea to continue what you started off so well in your undergraduate days, and stir many young Cameroonians to EXCELLENCE for God and for man. For sure, you need not be a failure to serve God. Dr Esunge says : “Down with that heresy!”
I am so excited that Dr; Julius Esunge is coming to impact some knowledge to the students in ¨the pace to be¨ (UB). It will be with all pleasure, infact it will be an honour to have you Doc.

Congratulations. This is an awesome opportunity, and well-deserved.
Many congrats, Dr. Esunge! I’m not surprise that you won this highly competitive award, given that you always occupied a frontline position in your secondary school days at CBA (LBA), where I also schooled. I am really proud of you! Welcome to the Fulbright family! I won the award in 2006 and conducted advanced sociolinguistic research at the University of Pennsylvania (Philadelphia), coupled with occasional guest lectures st different US universities. I am currently serving as the Secretary General of Fulbright Alumni of Cameroon. I hope that there will be an opportunity for the Fulbright family in Cameroon to welcome you officially, as we have often done to both Cameroonian and American Fulbrighters. Once more, many congrats on your prestigious Fulbright award!
